Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup coconut milk (regular, light, or unsweetened)
  • 2 tea bags of matcha green tea or regular green tea bags
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (see instructions if you don’t have the powder)
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or raw sugar ( see notes for sugar free)
  • 1/2 Tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil or naturally refined coconut oil
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional mix in- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes or shavings
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey (for non vegans)
  • Optional topping – nuts, oats, coconut flakes, or sliced banana

Instruction

  • First heat your milk on stove or in a microwave safe dish. You want the milk to come to a low boil or simmer if on stovetop. Equivalent to about 70-90 seconds on medium high power if in microwave.
  • Place tea bags in milk and let them steep for 3 minutes. Remove tea bags after 5 minutes or so. Whisk in your matcha powder. If you don’t have matcha powder, just use the matcha tea bags.
  • Next prepare your oats according to directions, leave out 1/3 cup of the recommended water so that the oats are thicker. Cooking on the stovetop or microwave works. (See notes for how to cook oats on stove tops).
  • When oats are halfway through cooking. Pour in 2/3 c green tea latte, reserving 1/3 cup for pouring on top once cooked.
  • Finish cooking oats until they are creamy but still thick. Not runny.
  • Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in your coconut sugar, dash of salt, cinnamon, and coconut oil.
  • Mix all together.
  • Mix in optional coconut shavings if desired. This makes about 4 cups.
  • Spoon into bowls and pour additional matcha latte on top of each bowl. Drizzle honey or maple syrup.  Add toppings of choice.
